http://tagul.com/


Idea for word cloud.
At the beginning of the a unit or lesson create a word cloud using  all the key terms that the students will be learning in a unit.  See if they can guess what you will be learning about.  Great way to check prior knowledge.

Make a lego of yourself.  Unfortunately, they do not have an easy way to save your artwork.  But you can use the snip it tool on your computer to save it.  Or you can use the Print Screen option.  Have fun!

Digital Public Library of America

Browse the Digital Public Library of America

The Digital Public Library of America is a huge collection of digitized artifacts and exhibits from museums and libraries across the United States. Through the DPLA you can find documents, books, images, audio recordings, and video clips. The DPLA is a new resource and only some of the artifacts are arranged into exhibits at this point. You can look for artifacts by locationtime, or keyword search. Clicking on an artifact will open information about where it is housed and when it was created.
